"Who are you?" Bruce asked as he glared in the direction of the shadow.
"My name is Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist!" The figure proclaimed as he stepped into view, revealing a short boy with long blond hair pulled back into a braid, and golden eyes.
The two thugs gaped at him for awhile before bursting out into fits of laughter.
"You? The Fullmetal Alchemist?" Butch asked with a snicker.
"Your nothing but a little kid!" Bruce added with a howl of laughter.
The boy froze as a look of pure rage crossed his face. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MIDGET FLEA!" He shouted as he rushed toward Bruce and slugged him right in the face, sending the large man flying against a wall.
"Bruce!" Butch shouted as he watched his companion fly across the alley. He turned toward the young alchemist and glared. "Your gonna pay for that you runt!"
Edward was about to reply when a large body of armor came up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Brother, please calm down." He said.
"Tch, fine…" Ed said with a sigh.
"You two again?" A familiar voice questioned.
Ed and Al looked up in shock and noticed the homunculus standing just behind the remaining thug.
Ed squinted and then his eyes widened when he recognized her. "Your that girl who was with Envy!" He shouted as he pointed at her.
Spite rolled her eyes. "No, I'm his pet mongoose." She replied sarcastically.
The alchemist narrowed his eyes at her threateningly. "Are you making fun of me?"
"No! Whatever gave you that idea!" Spite snapped.
Ed growled and prepared to attack her when his younger brother tapped his shoulder.
"Umm, Brother? Aren't you forgetting about them?" Alphonse asked as he pointed to the thugs.
Bruce rubbed his head with a dazed look in his eyes as Butch helped the larger man to his feet.
"Where is that little maggot? I am gonna pulverize him…" Bruce slurred.
Ed looked at them with disinterest. "Ya I guess we should take care of them first." He said with a shrug.
Butch glared at him. "You say that like you think we are weak!"
Ed smirked. "Well ya…that's cause you are." He replied.
The two thugs growled and charged at the boy. Ed clapped his hands together and formed a blade from his automail arm.
"Bring it on!" He shouted as he prepared to attack.
Suddenly a shadow appeared in from of him and dissipated to reveal Spite.
"Hey! Get out of the way!" Ed shouted.
Spite turned her head and gave him a deadly glare. "I can handle them. I don't need to be saved by some human!" She spat.
"Hey! Is that anyway to thank me! I just stopped them from beating the crap out of you, or worse!" The short alchemist shot back.
"I can take care of myself!" Spite shouted as a large shadow shot out at the thugs, knocking them to the ground.
"W-what the?" Bruce sputtered as he picked himself up.
"What just happened!" Butch shouted as he gazed at the girl in horror.
A sadistic smirk spread on Spite's face as another shadow form in from of her.
Ed's eyes widened. "That expression…it looks just like the same smirk Envy has…"
The shadow, in the shape of a snake, lashed out at Butch, biting his arm and lifting him in the air. It slammed him to the ground and then rammed him against a wall.
"Hey! Stop! You'll kill him!" Ed shouted as he grabbed the girls arm, causing her to lose concentration and drop her shadow.
"Let go!" Spite shouted as she jerked her arm away from him.
Bruce gaped at the homunculus with a look of terror. "Y-you're a monster!" He rushed over to Butch and helped the half unconscious man to his feet.
"Th-this isn't over! I'll get you for this, girl!" Butch managed to choke out.
The two thugs got out of the alley as quick as they could, disappearing from sight.
Spite looked down and sighed. "Monster huh? They have no right to say that…they are the monsters…" She thought with repulsion.
The dark girl looked up at Ed and Al with a glare. "There, they got away alive. Happy?" She snarled.
"No." Ed said flatly. "You nearly killed that guy." He said.
Spite glowered at him hatefully. "Oh? And what exactly were you gonna do? Didn't look as if you were planning making friends with them." She deadpanned.
"No, I wasn't, I would have just scared them off." Ed replied.
"They deserved to die." Spite hissed.
"But that doesn't make killing them right." Al responded.
Spite whirled so that she was facing him. "What do you know, Tin can?! And like I care if it is right!"
Startled by her outburst, Al took a step back.
"Hey! Don't talk that way to my little brother!" Ed protested.
Spite smirked. "Little? So you mean you are the older one?"
Ed glared at her. "Ya, got a problem with that?" He snapped.
"Oh no, not at all….shorty." She teased.
Ed growled. "You really are like Envy…."
Spite's smirk turned into a grimace. "Do NOT compare me to HIM." She said darkly.
"Oh I'm sorry, did I hit a nerve?" Ed said with a smirk.
Spite just growled and turned away.
"If you hate him so much then why work with him?" Al asked.
Spite glanced at the ground. "I-I don't hate him…he just…irritates me sometimes…" She muttered.
"Why work with him at all? He and all the other homunculi are evil." Ed stated.
Spite shot him a glare. "I beg your pardon? You know nothing about them!" She spat with a voice filled with venom. Despite the fact that she acted like she hated everyone, Spite had grown to care for the other homunculi. They had become like a family to her, and she felt very defensive of them.
Ed prepared to clap his hands together when Al touched his shoulder.
"Brother wait!"
"Back off Al! She is really asking for it!" Ed shouted.
"But we have no reason to fight her!" Al replied.
"No reason?" Ed sputtered. "She is with THEM!"
"Maybe so….but I don't think she is evil! She may be working with Envy but she does not seem bad to me." Al reasoned.
"Didn't you see the look in her eyes when she was attacking those jerks? She had the same expression as Envy!" Ed shot back, earning a cold glare from the dark girl.
"But still…she let them go Ed…if she had really wanted to kill them then she would have…" Al responded.
Ed sighed. "Maybe your right, Al…"
He looked over at Spite, who just snorted and looked away, crossing her arms.
"So what are you doing out here on your own anyway? Where is Envy?" Ed asked as he leaned against a wall.
Spite scowled at him. "I don't need to be watched over like a child…I can go where I want whenever I want. He is not my caretaker." She spat.
"I take it this is a touchy subject for you?" Ed asked with a smirk.
Spite growled as Al touched his brothers shoulder again.
"Brother…" He warned.
"Hey, I'm only kidding." Ed said with a chuckle.
"I do not find your sense of humor amusing, Fullmetal." Spite retorted.
"Lighten up…so what are you doing in the city anyway?" Ed asked.
Spite glared at him coldly. "I told you…I can go where I want when I want…"
"I know…but why here? You don't seem like the type who would want to be around large crowds of people." Ed pointed out.
"I…just kind of…wandered here…" Spite mumbled.
"In other words….you got lost?" Ed teased.
"Sh-shutup! I just zoned out that's all…I have had a lot on my mind…" The girl retorted.
"Like what?" Al asked.
"None of you business." Spite muttered coldly.
"J-just trying to start a conversation..." Al stuttered.
"Hn…" Spite replied as she crossed her arms and looked away.
"So, do you plan on going back to the homunculi, or are you planning on staying here for awhile?" Al asked.
"I don't think I feel like going back there right now….what do you care?" The young homunculus responded.
"Umm, n-no reason…if you want you can hang out with us. We can show you around if you would like." Al offered.
Spite arched an eyebrow. "You're kidding right? In case I am forgetting something…we are suppose to be enemies."
"Uhh well, you don't seem that bad and besides…" Before the youngest Elric could finish his sentence, he was cut off by his older brother.
"Hey! Wait! Hold on! Time Out!" Ed shouted. "Are you mental, Al?! She is a homunculus!"
"That's doesn't mean we can't get along…" Al muttered as Spite growled at Ed's statement.
The young state alchemist ran his fingers through his hair. "I just know I am gonna regret this…"
"Fine, she can hang out with us, but if she tries anything…" He muttered.
"Whoa hold on…I never said I WANTED to hang out with you." Spite interrupted as she glared at the short boy.
"Hey, I am trying to be nice here!" Ed defended.
"Hah! Like I need kindness from a short, pathetic, little human like you!" Spite growled.
"Who are you calling little! Say that again and I'll…"
"You'll what, Shrimp!"
The two of them stood just inches apart, circling each other as Spite glared down at Ed, and he scowled up at her.
"Hey, cut it out you two!" Al said as he stepped between them in an attempt to calm them down.
Spite huffed. "Fine…I will hang out with you, but only because I have nothing better to do with my time." She said as she stormed ahead of the Elric brothers. "You two coming or not?"
"Ya, right behind you." Al replied. If he could smile, then he would be.
Ed smirked and nudged his brother playfully. "Oh I see…"
Al blushed, which was odd since he was nothing but armor. "Wh-what are you talking about?" He asked nervously.
Ed chuckled. "Oh nothing…I just find it odd that you have a crush on someone like her…she doesn't seem to be your type." He teased.
"Brother!" Al protested.
Ed just laughed as he ran to catch up with Spite, who was waiting impatiently at the end of the alley.
Al glanced at her nervously, hoping she hadn't heard anything.
The girl just rolled her eyes at Ed, who was glaring at her, although his glare didn't seem as serious as before, Al figured he was just playing around with her.
"If we are gonna go, then lets go." Spite muttered as she placed her hands on her hips.
Ed chuckled. "All right, all right, lets go."
